as a "reductivist" I feel I stand on the side of freedom, and that the other side wants to own our souls as intellectual property, under the guise of extending and protecting their current contractual relationships with media companies
(i don't believe intellectual property is a morally legitimate concept, since it comes from a exploration of a pre existing space of ideas (also I am a georgist so I don't believe physical space can be morally owned either))
naturally this strongly held belief can result in sharp words against perceived enemies.
- jrumbut 4y agoI am torn. While I am skeptical of a lot of IP concepts, I am much more skeptical of a law that is enforced against internet users who want to download MP3s but not enforced against technology companies that want to sell AI generated content. So I currently find myself saying "we must get a handle on this copyright infringement" because equal protection is important, while also believing that copyright protections ought to be much weaker than they are.
